Theoretical Astrophysics and Computational Modeling

Theoretical astrophysics builds mathematical models and simulations to explain observations and predict new phenomena. It spans a broad range of topics, from black hole dynamics and quantum gravity to galaxy formation and the behavior of dark matter.

Computational modeling allows scientists to recreate cosmic processes using high-performance computing. These simulations help visualize the formation of stars, the evolution of galaxies, and the structure of the universe. This approach is crucial when direct experimentation is impossible.
